it’s been about a million years since I’ve been on this website or posted on my blog but I just wanted to give y’all an update on my life

this year has been a massive rollercoaster with a huge fucking drop but I got over that and when I did the lift was euphoric

in the summer I met this bee who is in all these photos with me - her name is Emily (everyone calls her Em) and she might as well be call Saint Em because she is

she’s helped me through so much this year and I’ve done the same with her. we’ve been on so many adventures (as you can see in the photos - in descending chronological order looool) and we’re about to go on a huge one to Paris for Christmas which is going to be incredible! because of all this I have had literally no reason to be on this website, which was a getaway for me from all the shit that was going on in my life but I just really don’t need it anymore.

and so I suppose this is goodbye! this will be my last post on here really and I want to thank all my followers and all the people I’ve followed for helping to keep me sane when I really wasn’t and I want to thank this website for being my getaway. I have another getaway now, and that’s Paris in a few days and my new home in the East End until we move out and find a new place.

I hope you are all doing well and I hope that you all find your getaways, and if this is your getaway then I’m glad you’ve found your safe spot.

farewell!! - Dia ^.^ xx

It’s not just Trump that gained power tonight.

It’s the man on the bus touching me, thinking he had a right to my body.

It’s the man who called me a fat cow for telling him to watch where he was going because he almost ran me over.

It’s the saleswoman yelling “WHY DONT YOU SPEAK MY LANGUAGE” to a Muslim man.

It’s my mom telling my sister being gay is a phase.

It’s my classmates saying women wearing revealing clothes are “asking for it”.

When you give one bigot power, you give all of them power.

Hi everyone!

This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly. 
The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldn’t find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me!
Some could say: “Yes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!”, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other “types” of harassment of a lone person in a public space!!
However I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”! 
I’d like to insist on two things:
1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked!
2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person you’re helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If you’re in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel!

For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :)

Please don’t hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!!

Lots of love and stay safe!
